You should know

Ever since coming to New York, I’ve discovered that I like two new things: Mediterranean food, and food made from chickpeas. So when we were in Toronto, and had to find someplace for quick, relatively cheap food that both a vegan and a handful of carnivores could eat, we went straight for the falafel place we had passed on our way to variousotherplaces.

So?

Neither the gyro nor the beefshawarma were particularly memorable. I tasted the falafel, though, and it was very good.
The décor was lacking, though, and the washroom was actually a bit frightening. To get there, you have to go up a rickety stairway, and the toilet is in a dirty closet-like enclosure; there was not enough toilet paper in there when we went.

A decent option
Overall, if you want a fast, cheap meal – and don’t use the bathroom – it’s a decent place to stop. I recommend the falafel over the meat dishes, but nothing was actually bad.
